NAE Caranfil RELOADED

On April 8, 9 and 11 you can watch two movies directed by Nae Caranfil on two venues.  The added bonus is the presence of the director and his wife, actress Mara Nicolescu.  For those that are not familiar with the Romanian cinematography, Mr. Caranfil's "Philanthropy" (2002) is a good introduction to the Romanian society and its problems.  The film is very well put together and the script is carefully balanced to keep the viewer interested until the end.  A question in the movie blogs is "Is this the best Romanian movie ?".   See for yourself.  The schedule is as follows:

Friday April 8, 8 pm - Filantropica. a.k.a. "Philanthropy" (English subtitles)
